I am sorry for your issues.
Something sounds amiss. It may in fact be exactly what you say and it may in fact
be a misunderstanding on someone else's part? Your part even? IF you have
proof of what you signed and you call that to the attention of your attorney and... View More

The company recently reached out about continuing to make payments. Is there a statute of limitation on this? Can... View More

Depending on multiple factors, multiple things can happen. It is unclear from the jump that you owe them anything, but, since you agreed and you made payments, that's a tough one to defend. WHEN your last payment was can matter re: SOL. Unless you purchased something from them on credit it... View More

I have been renting at a month to month facility in California (Riverside county) for 3 months now. I just received a 30 day notice my monthly rent will increase by 34%. There is nothing in my contract that goes over how often or by how much they can increase my rent.

You've asked:
Can a month to month California storage facility increase my rent by 34% after only 3 months
renting there? Each month, in a month to month, is a new agreement. One SHOULD I suppose give NOTICE that they will raise the amount, likely 30 days (just a guess) but... View More
reached out to a lawyer through a friend, who claimed to specialize in company listings. He initially provided me with a draft contract that included a fee of $160,000, which I did not sign. I informed him that I would not pay such an amount, as the process would take too long and I could find... View More

Hard to follow your fact pattern. You are saying he wanted to charge 160K but agreed to settle for 12K? AND then did not so agree? I think it's time you hire someone else to straighten it out. Perhaps you have someone in house on retainer if it is this large a business??? If not, perhaps you... View More

You're in a tough spot living with someone you may have to take legal action against. It can only get less pleasant if you take that route. The earlier suggestion to move may be your best bet. Good luck with it.
My car is now going to be totaled and I am now going to be forced to buy a new car I feel like the Parents should be liable for this extreme inconvenience.

The answer is like most things at law = Maybe?
The good news is that your insurance company can handle and then if they choose to, they can sue the parents. Good luck with it.

If you have no personal connection to this loan company I'd think
it's a HUGE risk. Just the question you are asking sets off alarm bells.

A worker at UPS asked me to put myself as a witness on a customers notary and asked me to put an alias name. He did not let me ready the document he just said “I’m not notary it’s okay just put any name and any signature it could be an alias.” I did so without thinking. What happens?... View More

Hard to say. If it were me I'd find a new job pronto.
He promised/agreed to refund me $2,500 due to the bad work and has been very slowly paying me for the past two years, although he has now been avoiding answering my texts for most of 2024 and I don't think he will finish refunding me what he promised. The job was $4,000 and he has paid back... View More

In a contract situation ORAL is 2 years and Written is 4 years in Ca.
The result if you can enforce it, is they get to keep ZERO of the money,
it all must go back to you. Further, the state contract licensing board MAY
come down on the frauds, maybe, for you? Good luck with it...

Hard to follow, you got a FULL refund AND kept the bike and now you want a second full refund? Is that what happened? I do see they have the bike. Did they not pay for it initially with that full refund? Again, your facts are not easy to follow here...

The guarantee states that if we are unhappy with their service, which we had to call 4 times in less than 1 yr pd for the unit not cooling, that we can ask for our money back.

Regardless of what it says, if they made a promise, a significant one, and they failed to live up to it, you may have an actionable claim. Good luck with it.

So, you got a check from someone, deposited it and now the bank not only will not credit it to you but also closed your account? IF they cannot verify you are you, how did you OPEN the account? WHY can you not prove you are you? Why not ask the maker of the check to re-issue? Good luck with itl

No one can predict what your lawyer will or will not do. It may be best to ask your lawyer instead of a bunch of folks on the internet who know nothing really of the situation?
